Personal amp evolution


Seeing the over night success of the speaker evolution thread, it may be interesting to see what type of amp(s) we have all run. Same deal as the other thread-we will sort of create a puzzle of our systems you'll have to visit multiple threads to put everything together!!! ;)
For me I started:
Adcom GFA-565 monoblocks
Rotel RB-990bx
Jeff Rowland Design Group Model 5
Balanced Audio Technology(BAT) VK-60

either a CAT JL2, BAT VK-75se or Tenor 75Wp on the horizon.

ARC VS110...harkens back to the tube magic of yesteryear without the limitations of frequency or control.
Since October 2003, my audio journey has taken me from...

1)Marantz SR7200 receiver
2)Fisher Studio Standard BA6000
3)Adcom GFA-555
4)Pioneer Reference M-90
5)PS Audio 250 Delta Monoblocks <== Current 2 channel setup.

I still have all the amps. Amps 1-4 are used in my HT setup right now. The PS audio sounds wonderful in my setup. They will be staying in my system for a while.
A pair of Carver M 4.0t (1988-1994)Sold both
Denon receiver DR-350? 55wts per channel(1994-1999)Kept
Audio Refinement Complete (1999-2000)Sold
Nakamichi PA 7 (2000-2000)Sold
Sonic Frontiers Power 2 (2000-2002)Sold
Audio Refinement Complete (2001-2001) This I was trying to set up a secondary system but it gave me trouble twice...Was my unit a lemon?
BC-2 Monoblocks which I got as trade for the Nak PA 7. Kept.(2000-present)
Assemblage ST300B Platinum (2001-present)loaded on closeout sale at SF!
McCormack DNA 225(2001-present and current set up.)

Most likely there will not be a change in my current amp for a long time. Maybe I will get a new preamp.

Fast forward 2 years:

Sold the BC-2 in Winter 2003/2004
DNA 225 sitting idling
47 Labs Shigaraki Integrated (2003-still here)
very fast and pratty
Final Music 6 battery powered amplifier (2004-current standard!) Wow paired with the Final Music 5 battery powered preamp.

Financially strapped for now. No more upgrades or changes, I promise (Yeah right.)
Looking for amplifier with the same Quad Forty II quality sound, but alot more power
Just 3 months ago I said I was happy & would keep the Ayre V-5x & while I wasn't actively seeking another amp, the opportunity to upgrade to an Ayre V-1x "fell into my lap" and has now become part of my system.
